Take your Charm Pack and lay out the squares. Unroll the Jelly Roll and place strips that coordinate or contrast with the Charm squares. Don’t worry, you will have some sets left over, so if there is a color you do not want to use, put it aside! Have fun putting the colors together.

Decide the size of your quilt. Each square, when completed, will measure 9”. When the squares are sewn together they will measure 8.5” finished. So, if you use 5 squares wide by 6 squares long, you will have a quilt top measuring 42.5” wide by 51” long, before you add a border, if desired.

To make a square, pick up one set consisting of one 5” x 5” charm square and the 2.5” strips you have chosen to go around the charm square. Starting with the left side of the square, place a 2.5” strip, matching up the ends, rights sides together, and sew the strip to the square using a 1/4” seam allowance. Trim the strip to be even with the square. Repeat this step in the right side.

Next, sew a 2.5” strip to the top and bottom of the square you just finished. You how have 1 completed square.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have sewn all the blocks together.

Lay out the blocks on a design wall or flat surface 5 squares across and 6 squares down and move around until you like the way the squares are laid out.

Starting with Row 1, Square 1, sew Square 1 to Square 2, right sides together using a 1/4” seam allowance, and repeat with the remaining squares until the row is sewn together. Press the row and place it back on the design wall, or flat surface to keep them in order as you complete each row.

When you have sewn all rows together and pressed them the next step is to sew the rows together. You will take Row2 and place it on top of Row 1, right sides together. Using a 1/4” seam allowance and matching the seams, sew the two rows together. See Drawing 4 (there are four of the five blocks shown due to space):

Sew row 3 onto rows 1 and 2, repeating this with each successive row until all rows are sewn together. Press.

You can stop now as this is a completed top. However, if you would like to place a border around the top, use your 2.5” strips you have, or a contrasting 2.5” strip and sew the strip to the left and right sides, then the top and bottom using a 1/4” seam allowance. Once sewn, press and you have a completed top.
